I don't think we should wait with APK -- even if initially packages in
the package feeds are still failing because their version string is not ok
for APK, creating a release branch with APK being the default package
manager will make it clear to everyone this is going to happen and the
remaining (trivial) changes can be done to packages in their respective
feeds.

I understood that index based trust is now impemented in APK:

What else is missing?
